Turkey and Mushroom Risotto Reviews

The best leftover dish is the first sandwich
you make from what's left of the turkey,
standing barefoot in a quiet kitchen lighted
only by the dim bulb above the stove: thick
toast with mayo and cranberry sauce and
dressing and slices of just-carved meat.
No, scratch that (though it's delicious
and you should make two or three). The
best leftover recipe is risotto with turkey
and wild mushrooms, the grains of rice
plump with turkey broth and made nutty
with cheese. The soft richness of the meal
recalls Thanksgiving, then amplifies the
memory, giving it a rakish flair.

A tasty, hearty, one-dish dinner. I used short grain brown rice and it turned out really good, just a bit less creamy than traditional risotto. I also added a scant tablespoon of fresh chopped rosemary midway through cooking.

Really yummy! Despite only adding the turkey at the end (and using flavorful mushrooms), it still had a really pleasant and delicious turkey flavor. I also added a splash of dry white wine during the cooking for a little extra flavor. Definitely making again.
